In case you do want to see the essential movies prior to watching endgame
You can just go ahead and watch this. Avengers: Endgame is the grand end to a 21 movie long saga. However, there are a few key movies that’ll fill in the blanks for you at endgame. Based on information from the Russo brothers, head over to binge-ing these movies: Captain America The Winter Soldier, Captain America Civil War, Thor Ragnarok, and Avengers: Infinity War.
I would say, certainly, Civil War and Infinity War are probably the two biggest lead-ins to this movie in the sense that Civil War created the situation where the Avengers were divided.The relationship between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers was severed, and that was what put them in a vulnerable place when Thanos came in Infinity War.I think that is what partially what led to their demise in that film, the fact that they were divided when the greatest threat they ever faced came to them. So there is definitely a throughline there.
